Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy Recipe

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

4.3 from 8 reviews

Salisbury steak is a delicious way to elevate simple ground beef into a tender, flavorful meal topped with a rich mushroom gravy. The use of grated onion soaked in breadcrumbs creates especially juicy patties, while the mushroom gravy infuses the steaks as they cook together in the same skillet. Perfect served over creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting dinner.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Salisbury Steak

  • 1/2 onion (white, brown or yellow)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or 1/3 cup ordinary breadcrumbs)
  • 1 lb/500g ground beef (mince)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tsp dijon mustard OR 2 tsp dry mustard powder

Gravy

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 5 oz/150g mushrooms, sliced
  • 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp flour (all purpose / plain)
  • 2 cups beef broth / stock, low sodium
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Onion Grating: Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Using a box grater, grate the onion directly over the breadcrumbs. Mix together with your fingers and leave to soak for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the onion to soften.
  2. Mix: Add the ground beef, minced garlic, egg, ketchup, crumbled beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, and dijon or dry mustard to the breadcrumb-onion mixture. Use your hands to combine everything gently until just mixed. Continue mixing for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes pasty, which helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions. Firmly shape each portion into an oval patty about 3/4 inch (1 2/3 cm) thick.
  4. Brown Patties: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 1 minute on the first side until browned. Carefully flip and brown the other side for another minute. The patties will still be raw inside at this stage. Remove them from the skillet and place on a plate.
  5. Cook Aromatics: If the skillet looks dry, add a little more oil. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  6. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden and release their moisture.
  7. Make Gravy Roux: Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Stir in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring constantly to create a roux that will thicken the gravy.
  8. Make Gravy: Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once mostly smooth, whisk in the remaining gravy ingredients: water, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  9. Finish Cooking Steaks: Return the browned patties along with any juices from the plate back into the skillet with the gravy. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally around the steaks, until the gravy thickens and the patties are fully cooked. If the gravy thickens too fast, add more water to thin it out.
  10. Season Gravy: Remove the steaks onto a plate. Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Serve: Plate the Salisbury steaks and ladle the mushroom gravy over them. They are especially delicious served over creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
